With real-life issues explored against a backdrop of horror, Swamp Things stories became commentaries on environmental, political, and social issues, unflinching in their relevance.

Created out of the swamp by a freak accident, Swamp Thing is an elemental creature who uses the forces of nature and wisdom of the plant kingdom to fight the polluted worlds self-destruction. Alan Moore took Swamp Thing to new heights in the 1980s with his unique narrative approach. His provocative and groundbreaking writing, combined with masterly artwork by some of the mediums top artists, made Swamp Thing one of the great comics of the 20th century.
